 COMMEMORATING GROUNDBREAKING FOR APSAALOOKE WARRIORS APARTMENT COMPLEX

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Montana (Mr. Daines) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. DAINES. Mr. Speaker, today the Crow tribe will break ground on 
the Apsaalooke Warriors Apartment Complex, a 15-room complex that will 
serve the homeless veterans of the Crow Reservation.
  The Crow Reservation is home to more than 400 veterans, and far too 
many are without a home to call their own. Unfortunately, this struggle 
goes largely unseen. As Crow Vice Chairman Dana Wilson has said:

       Homelessness is invisible because the Crow always take care 
     of each other. It is not uncommon to see 10 to 20 people 
     living in a home.

  I am grateful to see the Crow Tribe's commitment to addressing this 
problem and giving our warriors a home of their own.
  I also want to thank Vice Secretary Shawn Backbone, Vice Chairman 
Dana Wilson, Secretary AJ Not Afraid, and the director of Crow Veterans 
Affairs, Paul Little Light, for their efforts to make this project a 
reality and to serve Crow veterans. Your work is deeply appreciated.
